मतलब
A general wish for someone's well-being or success.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Never wish 'Alles Gute' before the actual birthday. It is considered a 'Unglücksbote' (bringer of bad luck). If you must send a card early, write 'Erst am [Datum] öffnen!' (Open only on [Date]!) on the envelope. In Austria, 'Alles Gute' is often paired with 'Bussis' (kisses) among friends. It is also common to hear 'Alles Liebe' even in slightly more formal settings compared to Northern Germany. Swiss Germans might say 'Alles Gueti', reflecting the Swiss German diminutive or vowel shifts. It carries the same warmth but sounds more 'Swiss'. When a colleague leaves, it is customary to collect money for a small gift and have everyone sign a card that says 'Alles Gute für den Ruhestand' (for retirement) or 'für den neuen Lebensabschnitt' (for the new phase of life).
The 'E' is Key
Always remember the 'e' at the end of 'Gute'. Without it, you're just saying 'everything is fine'.
Birthday Jinx
Never say it before the actual day in Germany. It's a major social faux pas!

Add a Preposition
To sound more natural, add 'für' + [thing] to make your wish specific. 'Alles Gute für die Reise!' sounds much better than just 'Alles Gute!'
Handshakes
When saying 'Alles Gute' for a birthday or wedding, a firm handshake and eye contact are expected in Germany.
